Simple truths

So, here we are again, Dear Reader.

Work last night was insane, and not in the “holy crap there are so many customers I can't even pause to take a breath” kind of insane. We're talking the “Oh my sweet baby Jesus, if someone doesn't come into my lane sometime soon and give me a break from facing all the candy for the 50^th time, I'm going to jam this counterfeit pen into my eye socket” kind of insane.

Normally, I'd save the post for later on this evening since I get out of work at 4:00 today, but I know that would be a bad idea simply because of the crazy amount of reading that I have to do for my classes. So, this is what you get today.

Currently, I'm watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on HBO, drinking my usual insane amount of coffee and trying to come up with a to-do list for things I have to get done this evening before I have to get around and ready for work. It sounds so boring, but when you're running on about three hours sleep and sort of feel like a hamster on the wheel and have for the last several days, it's about all my poor brain can handle.

Life is getting stressful, as it always does at this point in the semester, what with professors trying to get everything finished before finals week and the bum rush to get every single project and assignment done on time. Not only that, but doing all of the transfer stuff that I have left, stressing about whether or not I'll get accepted and wondering what I'm going to do if I don't get into any of the colleges I've applied to. The paperwork is insane, graduation is a little more than a month away, and all I can think about doing is stress on how it's all coming to an end.

If things go the way I've planned, I'll be leaving my home, leaving my family and friends and going a few hours away to a college where I don't know anybody, don't know the area, and am left completely on my own. It's a terrifying feeling, and I've never been good with drastic change.

I swear, I don't have time for the nervous breakdown that I deserve.
